Installing the lock trim
Both the outside and inside trim assemblies have 1/4˝ alignment pins that fit into holes in the mortise case. These pins
establish an accurate trim position with respect to the mortise case assembly, allowing the levers and bolt mechanism
to operate freely without binding. The holes machined in the door surfaces should not influence the trim’s position.
There should be clearance between the features of the outside trim and the door prep holes. If the outside trim fits
tightly because the through bolt posts or card reader enclosure rubs on the door prep holes, then remove the mortise
and enlarge the holes to achieve a free fit. Under no circumstances should the 1/4˝ alignment pins be bent or removed
to allow a free fit.
1. Remove the battery pack and retaining spring.
2. Position the outside trim on the door with the card reader ribbon and power wire cable passing through the 0.88”
hole. Be sure that the ribbon cable and power wire does not get pulled, creased or cut. On metal doors, it may be
necessary to deburr the inside rectangular hole or insulate the bottom edge of the rectangular hole with a piece
of tape. SAFLOK spacer plates will be required for doors less than 1-3/4˝ thick. * Be sure ribbon and power wire are
completely pulled through the lock housing to ensure neither are pinched between the door and the lock chassis.
3. Route the ribbon cable and power wire through the rectangular hole in the inside trim. This hole is located above
printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. Route the motor wire through the wire channel in the inside trim closest
to the door edge. These holes are located below the PCB (see Fig. 4).
4. Position the inside trim on the inside of the door ensuring that the reader ribbon and power wire do not get pinched.
5. Secure inside trim to the outside trim using four M5 x 0.8 screws.
Important:
Do not fully tighten the screws at this point.
6. Once the outside trim is fully secured, check the alignment of the inside trim and be sure that the both levers rotate
without binding. Once the trim is properly aligned, fully tighten the screws that secure the card reader assembly to
the door and check for proper rotation.
7. Place the battery pack in position above the PCB and secure it in place using the retaining spring. Be sure that the
battery wire is routed through the lower left corner of the battery compartment (see Fig. 4).
Note:
Do not plug in the battery until the other connections have been made at the circuit board.
